Dallas fans at Cowboyszone are scared of McCoy and they should be. We basically dominated Dallas without a passing game, that team is powerless without their run game. If our passing game looks anything like it did when McCoy came in this will not be as close as the last one. Hell, Houston barely got out of FedEx alive. I'm prepared for the crazy rivalry game, especially on turkey day, but we've beat their ass before on thanksgiving, it can totally happen again.
23-13 Redskins.
That's a good thing, less pressure on us, the pressure is on Dallas because they know how important this game is.

I get what you are saying, but this feels different. If this turns into a year and a half before he can play again and we are already talking about cutting him after three, for all we know he could just retire after that without ever playing another game for us. There's got to be another way to get him that money, I'm not talking about taking it away from him, there needs to be some kind of settlement, this is insane to have all that count against the cap in it be more then likely he never plays another game for us again.

We need to wait to hear what official timetable is. If it's anything like that, we need to fight to get out of that contract instead of let him sit around and recover on our dime. We'd be 6 months away from being able to cut him anyway in that scenario, **** that.
Fair, gotta be some way to change how we get Alex that money with it counting less against the cap in this case, he's barely going to be able to play in the time frame he was expected to at this rate, that's safe to him but absolutely unfair to us, especially if we don't plan to bring him back after the 3rd year of the contract.

I didn't believe it because I didn't see it on the Post yet, but its on CNN now. I have no idea if the motive has come out yet, but if that ****er went in there like it was a soft target, that's a new low, no other way around it.

Lions did it to Barry Sanders, too, first time I think any team did that, so it was unprecedented at the time, now written into a CBA. We'd be talking settlement in that case, but I'm going to step away from whether this will happen or not until the full scale of this injury and return table is realized. It keeps getting longer and worse the more reports come out about it, this went from 3-6 months to damn near 10 in another.

@StillUnknown I can't use two smilies at the same time, so I chose laugh so I don't cry. The bloggers in this town need to take over the local media perspective, when you watch NBC 4, Alex Smith going down was lead story, they NEVER talk about the Wizards, its like they don't even play here. Ernie is getting away with murder because nobody is paying attention to the blood spatter on the walls outside a handful of people.

The only reason I don't think this thread is too early is because I don't believe it should be Colt, regardless of what happens with Alex. It would be a mistake in my opinion to go into next year with a career backup as our starter, we should not do that, that's not why he's here, he's here in case of what just happened to Alex.
Having said that, I'm not having luck finding a QB in the draft that will make sense around the time that we will be drafting. It make me wonder if we maybe should be thinking about drafting a QB in the second round as opposed to the first. I'd be perfectly fine trading down just to have someone we can at least develop into the next Colt McCoy for us.
Heard on CBS that the broken leg is confirmed, so it sounds like it could be leg and ankle, that could very well be career threatening for a mobile 34 year old QB. It may be premature but I would not be shocked if the retirement talk started and it came from us pushing for it. We've already been frustrated by him, and there's no telling how long it will take to get back to form, which wasn't good this year anyway. Who's to say he ever gets back to the guy we traded for, do we really want to wait to find out?
That comes to free agency. Teddy Bridgewater contract doesn't make any sense to me, could use some help confirming if we are waiting on the Saints to void the final years or not for him to be a free agent. Otherwise, I don't see anyone that I would sign, its not like last year where there were a couple guys would've been reasonable stopgaps. Tyrod Taylor? No thanks.
So ya, I don't know what the clear answer is on this one, but I do believe its fair to say we don't have to wait to have it all things considered. There's something else I want to add to this that I don't want to get banned for so I'll just say that both that opinion and that decision was not worth it.

Ya, you lost me with your analogy when you started mentioning other players coming in and I was trying to keep up. I still maintain Wall wants to be a leader but doesn't know how to do and no one here seems to be able to show him how to do it. GD waste of potential, it really is.

I feel you, and that's because the NBA cap works like quantum physics, **** can be in two places at the same time level complex and exceptions. But know, from my many attempts to get out of the Otto contract, we're f'd in that regard, which is why I've tried to convince myself we're better off trying to save the ship instead of intentionally trying to sink it, but it just feels so futile watching them play lately. I hate watching any of my teams act like they don't care.

Captain Buttfumble I believe has a better playoff record then all our QBs this decade combined. He's also been to more Conference championship games then we have since 91. So... ya... he may be out the league, but he won't be green if heaven forbid he's thrown out there, that's why I'm fine with this. Like I mentioned in another thread, if we can't get rid of Alex or find his replacement, I'd need a good reason not to bring Sanchez back to compete for a roster spot next year.

LeBron wouldn't be Batman, he'd be Superman coming in late and telling the Justice League what to do.
Agreed on the not interested in trade talk until Ernie is gone stance. It's fun to wish upon a star, but until it lands on that dude and we get another GM, I'm just enjoying ya'lls company when I need it most as a fan. I always said if the Redskins couldn't turn me away, but this is different.

The team and roster is built around Wall, you can't pop somebody else in there and expect different results, that's like putting the wrong engine in your car and expecting everything to be dandy, you aren't going anywhere. There are very few PGs I think that would even be close to being possible, but its not working now, and we wouldn't be able to get them in a trade anyway.

This article was meant to reassure us, then went to crazytown:

We need to do everything we can to win our next three games and put this thing away, this could get nuts out of nowhere fast if we aren't careful.

We're asking the wrong question and maybe it needs to be its own thread: Should people be allowed to opt out of certain vaccines for reasons that aren't medical related (like doctor saying it will kill them, thus defeating the purpose)? I believe the answer is "no", and if you don't like you, you can just avoid places that require vaccines, like home school your kids. Religious reasons are ridiculous, the constitution protects freedom of religion but that does not mean it should be at the expense of people who don't practice the same religious beliefs as you. What you believe doesn't effect other people unless something like this happens, that's completely different then banning prayer at school.

Pretty sure you have to trade contracts for equal value, right? Dwight is a steal, but there's no way to just get out of the money we owe Otto without replacing it with someone else's contract, which won't happen because no one wants to trade for Otto's contract.
The best thing would be for us to get rid of Ernie and replace him with someone that has the balls to get rid of Scott and try to save what we have this year. Any attempt to blow this thing up midseason without doing those two things first window dressing, its pointless.

I'm looking to get rid of Ernie and let the knew guy decide which makes the most amount of since. This season is unsalvagable if they keep at each other's throats like this, I don't care who they trade for. And I would NEVER trust Ernie with another rebuild, this is a culture problem first, talent problem second.

Somewhere I feel you knew what I was thinking
We win the next three games, division race is over, hell I agree I think its over if we beat Dallas on thursday. Just don't like counting my chickens before they hatch.

What it says is that's where he would've been if he didn't get hurt and that he's the only one that could fill the Crowder role in this offense with him still being out. It also says despite how we feel about this front office, they found another late round steal. Like no joke, the last pick in the draft is about to take Crowder's job and he's earning it fair and square.

Reports were that Beal was trying to challenge Wall for title of this being his team back in the day, with Beal finally blinking. There's always a bigger fish in the ocean, but in this pond, those are the biggest and they don't try to hide it (part of the reason our player only meetings go so bad, you can be right but go about it in a wrong way and it be like you were never right to begin with). If someone came here that could challenge that, they would challenge back at first, no telling how that would go (why I didn't want LeBron here, think Wall would rather leave then go through that). This not to defend it, just an observation of what I believe is meant when that comment comes up, and its not the first time it has.
